More about South Tybee Sandbars surfspot

General: Between Tybee and Little Tybee islands are a series of offshore sandbar breaks that offer excellent longboarding. It's sort of like Canoes at Waikiki. Paddle from the south end of the island out to the whitewater. Long, long rides on small to medium swells at low to mid-tide. Tides: low to mid Size: knee-chest high Wind: W Swell: NE, E, SE Bottom: sand Paddling: Surfing in an inlet so you are pretty much always paddling. Spot Rating: Fun little peelers for the big boards.

Beginner to advanced

Easy access, though parking may be a problem in the summer months.

Late summer, early fall, early spring
